dBodhi Shelfmate Oval Type D

The dBodhi Shelfmate Oval Type D is the vertical unit in the oval range, 75cm high on a 25cm width and weighing 3.10kg. Reclaimed teak sits within a hand-welded iron frame. Article code OMT492014PC.

Turning the rounded rectangle on its end gives you something quite different to the rest of the range. Vertical proportions suit the tall narrow gaps in a house, beside a doorway, in a hallway, or flanking a window where a horizontal shelf cannot go.

It also does specific work in a group. A wall of horizontal shelves is calm but static; introducing one vertical element creates the tension that makes an arrangement look composed rather than merely tidy. At 3.10kg it is light enough for standard wall fixings in most cases, though a masonry wall will want the appropriate anchor. It arrives packaged at 79 x 17 x 27.5cm, which is worth knowing if access to the room is tight.
